My car is 2008 Honda Accord 7th gen (Acura TSX Second gen in USA) Non-Navi
I was thinking to place the screen to here first:

But it wouldn't be useful. It would be on the very lower part. So i decided to this:
Image


Specs:

Windows 7 64 bit
ASUS_P8H61-I Mainboard
Intel Pentium Processor G2130 (3M Cache, 3.20 GHz)
4 GB DDR3 RAM
Sandisk 128 GB SSD
150 W. PSU (No name, China made but works great)
8" Open frame LCD screen
HDMI+VGA+2AV Controller Board VS-TY2662-V1 (Support Automatically switch to AV2)
Globalsat BU-353
Car2PC Audio adapter
Andrea Electronics Superbeam Array Microphone Bundle SUMA
ElmScan 5 Compact
Digitus 7 port USB 2.0 hub
Mini 0801 Car DVR
HDMI, VGA, RCA, Stereo extension ,USB 3.0 and 2.0 cables
And this panel:
Image


Actually this is a completed device with Wince. But i bought without screen and other electronic parts, just the plastic parts. A seller accepted to sell it seperately.

And pictures:

Can you do me a favor though? Can you measure the screen opening in the panel for me? Length times Width? I want to see how well my tablet would fit behind it.

What an awesome job! I have a 2007 EX V6 Coupe and was thinking about doing the same display mount. Where can I find the plastic dash part (the piece that has the display mounted in it). I tried the links from the 2014 post but unfortunately they don't work anymore. Any help is appreciated! Even if it's just the year of the car, but the part number would be great too!

Thanks in advance!

Chinese sellers trading life is not long. May be different name.
I just found it with this way 4 years ago... I sent same message to all sellers who sell this item. I mean whole unit vith Windows CE. I said that i just need plastic frame not whole unit etc. One of them replied and i bought. I know it's not easy but you can try this method :)
